What Our Bishops are Saying
"The Catholic Church stands with our brothers and sisters facing the challenges of immigration and we continue to call on public officials to enact comprehensive immigration reform.”
~Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain
"Undocumented families must be treated with dignity; separating children from their parents is not the answer.”
~Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly
"Immigrants - regardless of their legal status - are created in the image and likeness of God. Many migrate to the United States seeking a better life for their children. Many leave conditions of economic, social, and political instability. They come desiring to fulfill their moral obligations to their families. First and foremost, this is what we want to support in the lives of those we serve here in Washington State.”
~Yakima Bishop Joseph Tyson
